Party leader says resettlement grants would be partially funded by scrapping 'ridiculous' climate change adaptation policies

The BNP would offer non-white British people £50,000 to leave "overcrowded" Britain and return to the land of their ancestors, the party's leader Nick Griffin said today.

Griffin said the voluntary programme would be open to around 180,000 people a year who "could go back and help develop their own countries". He said the scheme would be funded from the foreign aid budget and money the government is "wasting at the moment on ridiculous climate change adaptation policies".

"We're saying that we'd give resettlement grants ... this is voluntary ... we're looking probably at £50,000 per person," he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.

Griffin said that the doors would be closed to everyone because Britain was "the most overcrowded country in Europe", but he did give exceptions. He said that Irish people would be allowed in because "as far as we are concerned the Irish are part of Britain and are fully entitled to come here".

Griffin also gave the example of a Japanese physicist needed to help with a fleet of British-built nuclear power stations to be developed under a BNP government. He claimed that French people who came to the country were unlikely to be targeting "soft-touch Britain".

"If you are talking about Polish plumbers or Afghan refugees, the doors are going to be shut because Britain is full," the BNP leader said.

Griffin, who claimed he would rather be about the economy "like the other leaders", but was "very pleased" to talk about immigration, continued: "The door is shut to any significant numbers whatsoever, from anywhere. It's open where it suits Britain and suits the British people. That's fair enough."

He claimed "British indigenous" people would be in a minority in the country between 2050 and the end of the century.

Griffin said the BNP would be prepared to tear up international treaties in order to achieve its objectives. Asked what would happen if other countries reciprocated by not allowing British people in, Griffin replied: "The last thing I saw there wasn't a queue of Brits trying to go to Albania or Somalia."

I'm not usually the kind to respond with a picture, but I think the wording of this might warrant it:



So, uh... what are the ethnic demographics in Britain like?

Thank you, that's very useful - and since I came from the US and live in Canada, makes it seem very overblown!

But he's not just offering to pay foreign-born people to get out of the country, either. From the wording of this it would appear that he's willing to pay non-white natural-born citizens to return to the land of their ancestors.

I'd leave this crappy country for 50k, why can't they offer it to me? RACIST!!!

Maybe the BNP likes gays. Secretly.

Pretty shitty idea if i'm honest. There are far easier more efficient ways to cure the problem of mass immigration on some of our cities. It's not like it could be enforced upon people like the article seems to suggest, it would be an option actually, there are a que for "British" people going to Somalia...

Yes, it is people from non-white ethnicities that he's offering to subsidise. I don't know why I provided foreign born population of the UK, I wasn't thinking. Maybe it's because Nick Griffin complains about immigration the most, and his views on immigration made it into this story.

The thing is though, I know many people who aren't white British who I would consider full British.

If he were to do this too, he would bankrupt the country (even more so). We can't afford to give 180,000 people £50,000 to not do anything. It's bad enough that we have people falsely claiming disability allowance and claiming unwarranted child benefits.

Actually, we should just kick all the lazy people who can work but wont work out of Britain.

That would never work. Do you have any idea how many of those people are white?!

Seriously though, this kind of reminds me of Clayton Bigsby

"I can't under-STAND yew, go back to your COUNtry - white power!"

To be honest though he's not trying to deal the problem of immigration, these people he's offering money to aren't immigrants, they're British. And the article doesn't just suggest that it wont be forced on them, it plainly says it's voluntary. It just shows that his motives are very clear and that they are outright racist.
